 Sample Itineraries for Schools
Examples of itineraries are summarised below, for further details please contact the office. We are happy to link itineraries to the school curriculum and/or project work.
Sinai Endeavour
A tremendously exciting week spent trekking through some of the most remote and magical areas of the Sinai, either in the desert or the high mountain region, depending on the time of year. The week gives a very close and personal insight into this ancient land and its culture - a truly educational journey!
Sinai Discovery
A gentle introduction to the beauty of the Sinai Desert and Bedouin tribespeople. This combination of adventure and tailored activities is designed to inspire and delight the school group within a safe framework.
Sinai Explorer
This journey begins in Cairo with a visit to the Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza but then gives students the opportunity to discover the remarkable land that still lies far off the beaten track. They can be gentle introductions or more intensive adventures with mountain trekking.
Sinai Initiative
For serious adventurers only! Our Sinai Initiative offers individual schools the opportunity to benefit fully from our specialist knowledge of the Sinai and our close relationships with the nomadic Bedouin tribes. It is an intensive four-week expedition that allows students to:
· Work with the Bedouin on one of our local projects
· Develop Leadership and teamwork skills
· Learn desert, mountain, camp and expedition skills
· Trek in the lush high granite mountains
· Camel Trek through the beautiful sandstone desert
"What an enormous success the trip was. The whole school is wishing it could have gone… it was obviously a life changing experience!"
Susan Whitfield, Headmistress, Notting Hill & Ealing High School
"I had read enough about the desert to know how those who travelled in it became its captives and wondered how this could be. Now I understood.’ So wrote Justin Marozzi of his travels in the desert. Anyone who travels with Wind Sand & Stars in the Sinai will also understand what this means. I’ve now taken school groups with me nine times.”
Geoff Cocksworth, Head of Sixth Form, The Kings School, Cantebury
